THE SENTIMENT FOR FLANNELS.
What a tailor says may be worth listening
to if he tells what he sees. His own
idea of what is good style or what is to
be in vogue in a coming season, is
worth absolutely nothing, unless based —
on his observation of what is being
worn, or is about to be worn, by men
whose usage rightly makes style.
This actual usage he must see and foresee.
Then he knows how to act. Then his
stock is what his advanced and particu-
lar customers are- satisfied with. I
always try to regulate my purchases on
this plan, and in so far as I succeed |
find that my Yale custom, which comes
from the campus and all the rest of the
country, responds most generously.
I can’t always strike it right. I wouldn’t
have to be in business long if I could.
The foreign woolen men said I was crazy
when | put in my orders for flannels for
this spring and summer. My stock was
really very large when the season opened
and | didn’t enjoy the anticipation of
the bills. Now I wish I had put in
twice the orders all along the line.
I saw that the short trousers and the white
ducks were to be worn much less this
year for all purposes—-golf, tennis, bicy-
cle, lounging—but no one could foresee
the extent of the demand for flannels
for trousers and for summer suits.
In this corner I am going to tell from
week to week, sometimes in short space
sometimes in long, what seems of inter-
est as to clothes for men who want
pretty good clothes. The flannel popu-
larity is the only thing I will speak of
this week. It’s a point that grows
more interesting every day as the stocks
on this side of the water are depleted.

of the mildest of them, re-
vised and expurgated, are often heard in
vaudeville; but forthe most part the ‘Louis-
ville records’ are to be heard only by the
favored few who areinthe ring. Ihave
lately heard of other collections, but none
to equal that of the pioneer, Mr, Blank.”

NSURANCE is as mucha
part of the serious busi-
ness of life as any invest-
ment or enterprise. It must
be studied, and the decision
for or against a certain policy
must be given on the facts,
if it is to be rightly given.
Leave it alone until an
agent finds you, and you get
into hot water. You suspect
that he is giving you at
best only half truths, and
you don’t know how to test
him. If you have thought
out the subject, you will get
all an agent really knows,
but he will not get you un-
less he has just the best
thing for you.
The more intelligently
you study our policies, the
better we like it.
